Business Start-Ups

Research-based companies

The interface between research and industry provides fertile ground for new businesses, and many start-up ideas go all the way to the market. We play an active role in the local start-up organisation Wädenswil (grow).

The Entrepreneurship@ZHAW programme acts as a first point of contact and advice for ZHAW members interested in setting up their own companies.

Wädenswil - grow: helping start-ups

ZHAW works together with other partners in the local organisation Wädenswil (grow), which promotes start-ups in the life sciences or in the areas of biotechnology, chemistry, food and nutrition, the environment and natural resources and facility management.

Grow offers professional support to prospective start-ups, providing infrastructure, advice, coaching and starting capital to help those striking out on their own. The role it plays in regional, national and specialist networks means that start-ups can extend their geographical reach and boost their professionalism.
